In this video, Bill Walton talks about the profound impact that Coach John Wooden had on his life and basketball career. Coach Wooden lived by his two sets of threes: don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't whine, don't complain, and don't make excuses. These principles cover a lot of ground and are key to a successful and honorable life. 🏀
Coach Wooden also had countless maxims and mantras that he shared at just the right moments. His mastery of the English language was unparalleled, and he loved to use it to inspire and teach. Some of his famous sayings include, "Be quick but don't hurry," "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail," and "Happiness begins when selfishness ends." 📚
Wooden taught that "Never mistake activity for achievement" and that "The worst things you could do for the ones you love are the things they could and should do for themselves." He believed in the power of thinking independently, saying, "When everybody thinks alike, nobody thinks," and encouraged healthy disagreement with, "It's okay to disagree; just don't be disagreeable." 💬
